Art on a plate
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 04/11/2016
» If you're guilty of binge watching Chef's Table on Netflix or you like to indulge yourselves in watching food-related documentaries, shows and films, then perhaps we can all agree that food on screen looks seriously appetising. If you've watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi, The Great British Bake Off or that god-awful attempt from Bradley Cooper to play a badass chef in Burnt, then you'll understand.
A short meeting with Buddha
B Magazine, Andrew Biggs, Published on 08/01/2017
» I had a special New Year's celebration. I did something I never thought I would ever do. It all began with a drunken question from an equally drunken friend back in early December at an Ekamai establishment. "So what are you planning for this New Year's Eve?"
Function, form and a fab bod
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 13/01/2017
» If you're in need of that extra push to get in shape this year, look no further than F45, a brand new functional training studio tucked inside Novotel Bangkok Hotel on Soi 20. We tried out three of their classes, survived and now can confidently tell you that you'll be tired AF and sweating out from every single one of your pores (even if you're a regular gym-goer).
What's trending and happening this week
Muse, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 14/01/2017
» 1. We all know that being a musician can be tough, especially for indie artists who don't have a giant music label to back them up. Show your support for the artists responsible for your favourite songs at the Long Khan Music Festival, a pay-what-you-want event where every bit of money goes toward the performing artists. Aside from purchasing CDs and merchandise, you can also show your appreciation directly by putting money in each artist's khan (or water bowl), so that they may continue to rock your world in future. The event will be held on Sunday at the ACMEN Ekamai Complex.
Hey, soul sister
Guru, Jarupat Buranastidporn, Published on 20/01/2017
» When Lezlie Harrison sings, she captures the attention of the whole room. We've had the pleasure of listening in on one of the nights she was performing and we fell head over heels with her sound and bubbly personality. Hailing from New York, she has returned to our beloved city and graced us with her original take on jazz, blues and soul music at The Living Room. Guru chats to her as she lets us in on her favourite artists, what she thinks about the jazz bars in Bangkok and a few of the non-touristy must-do's if we ever find ourselves in the Big Apple.
Biking during the 'cool season'
Life, Pongpet Mekloy, Published on 02/02/2017
» Let's admit it, 2017 is not a new year any more. It's February already. So whatever plan you may have, don't just wait and regret.
The wolf of whiteline
Guru, Mika Apichatsakol, Published on 03/02/2017
» If you're a night owl and enjoy the chillaxed creative community of Silom (over Sukhumvit's), then for sure you've been to Whiteline and Safe Room a few times. Opened for two years now, this nightclub/alternative art venue has made a name for itself with standout events like the annual 60 Second Film Festival, which is coming around again in a week. We wanted to get to know the guy behind this cool hub, so we called up Oliver Wolfson and asked if he preferred cats or dogs — among other questions.
Bangkokian Phones
Guru, Eric E Surbano, Published on 03/02/2017
» We're all familiar with the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover", i.e. don't judge people by their appearances. Well, we totally agree. It's 2017, so judge them by their phones instead!
How did it start?
Life, Published on 09/02/2017
» It's hard to say who was the first tourist in Siam, because tourism as we know it didn't exist until a few centuries ago. Indian merchants sailed here in the 5th century, the Chinese came to trade and later to settle, and one of the earliest European travellers were the Portuguese, arriving in Ayutthaya in 1511. In 1680, Ibn Muhammad Ibrahim, a Persian, visited the land and recorded his impressions -- "All around us were trees that never feel the withering touch of autumn" -- while the first guidebook to the Kingdom was written by local resident J. Antonio in 1904. (Its most highly recommended activity is the shooting of birds and mammals.)
Forever grateful

» 'My Dearest Khun Prisna, I am now in one of the most beautiful places. Our hotel's name is 'Castello del Sole' (Castle of the Sun). Isn't it chic? The name is like one in a fairy tale. This town is so cute. It has a bright-coloured lake and nice houses on slopes. Routes and paths criss-cross the hills. Colourful flowers blossom everywhere ..."
